Call quality was fine on the LG Cosmos Touch but not spectacular. Callers rated us a 7.75/10, complaining that there was a slight tininess and echo. Voice reproduction was so-so on their end. To us they sounded good with solid voice reproduction and the earpiece was plenty loud. Battery life is rated at an ample 6 hours, enough to get your average user through the day and then some.

Overall the LG Cosmos Touch VN270 has some niceties but is ultimately done in by its price and competition. At $80, the phone is simply overpriced for what it offers, especially when you can get a Curve 9330 for $30 and the LG Vortex at $80. Yes, those phones require a data plan so that requires consideration, but for such a basic phone the price is too high. When you take the price away the LG Cosmos Touch is a fine entry level phone with great build quality, an above average touchscreen and a good camera. If you can pick it up on one of Verizon’s “buy a … - get any phone free” offer, it is a solid pickup for the add-a-lines on your account.

I own this phone and like it. It's the first feature phone I've owned so I had no expectations. Your review got it right on all points except the photo quality, which is quite bad as your sample photos show. Photos often lack detail and dynamic range.

Like most digital cameras, the camera does best in decent light (when there is not a lot of contrast in a scene). If you plan on doing even the most basic editing, shoot at full resolution (the zoom is disabled when the camera is set to full resolution but, hey, it's only a 2X zoom).

I always carry a digital camera with me so I don't care that much about the image quality of the Cosmos Touch. If photo quality in a phone was a priority, I'd look elsewhere.

I am considering this phone, but am tempted to inquire (to the parental unit) about possibly getting a blackberry curve. For you experienced phone users out there, what would you recommend? Is it worth it to pay data plan for the bb curve or just deal with the 80 dollar fee with the lg cosmos and settle for sub-par performance (in comparison to the bb and other smart phones, of course). What do you think?

I have the LG Cosmos touch and it is an okay phone. Most the time that i send a txt message it will turn on when it is already on i have had 2 in the 14 days but it is the same. when it does that it wont send your message and you have to retype it. I had the LG Env 3 for 3 years and i would like that phone back than this one. If you want one dont get it, its not worth 80 dollars. i thought LG phones were better than that.

ive had this phone for a day, at first really liked it, but i downloaded songs onto it and im frustereated because they arent being stored under "my sounds" rather just under "my music" however, i want them to be my ringtone. and for that to happen, they need to be under "my sounds"
....
...
.
does anyne know how to fix that?
if i cant fix this problem, i will think much less of this phone.

I have had this phone since it came out and it is the greatest thing I had ever had. Before this phone I had the iPhone and I really like this phone better. If you want the internet package you have to pay the data package but other than that I really like this phone and its great. I have dropped this phone probably like 7 times and it still has yet to have a scratch on it. Its a great texting phone. Easy to use. And the keyboard is small but you get used to it very quickly. I have recommended this phone to 6 of my friends and all but one of them got it and they are all very impressed with it. So if you just want a simple that you can get pretty much anything I do recommend this phone. Out of a 1-10 i do give it a 10. Sometimes the touch screen is a little slow but just tap it and i goes back to normal. Not a big problem at all. BIG RECOMMENDATION FROM ME!

I own a LG Cosmos Touch and I liked it in the beginning because the battery lasted me awhile. It also feels nice in your hands.

Now, the battery life is shorter and the touch screen is sensitive when you touch something and it TAKES FOREVER to charge. Sending messages when one is coming in takes FOREVER then after awhile you have to touch if you want to send the message to the person or not. When you click to read the message later that you receive while your texting, you have to click "read (or open) later" really hard or you will send the text to the wrong person.

This phone is horrible. Do not buy under any circumstances. I just use my phone for calling and texting, and this one only does both ineffectively.
Biggest complaint is that it pocket-dials people on average probably twice a week. I don't even keep it on anymore, as I'm paranoid about pocket-dialing someone and having them hear me say something I don't want them to hear.
It randomly shuts off in the middle of composing a text maybe 5% of the time. Around 10% of the time I try to make a call, I get a pop-up ad for something called the Daily Scoop. I immediately hit dismiss, but it takes 5-10 seconds to get off my screen and I can't make a call until it does. Not a horrible problem, but annoying, and has me worried about what would happen in an emergency (having to wait an extra ten seconds to call 911 could have some really bad results).
I greatly preferred my old flip-phone, and would change back in a heartbeat if I could.
I will say that I've had no problems with the speakerphone, or with battery life or charge time. I also like the QWERTY keyboard. But, I reiterate, do not buy this phone.

I hate this phone more than anything. IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT GETTING IT, DO NOT. I got it for my birthday in November and I'm on my second phone. On my first one, the calibration went insane and it totally stopped working. It changes who you're sending texts to all the time, so I always have to check and make sure I'm sending texts to the right person. I have a refurb right now and the keyboard buttons don't press, the send button doesn't work, and to end a call i have to hit end over 10 times before it will hang up, AND IT CAME LIKE THAT. The camera sucks, the phone battery life is great for a week before it totally gives out, the back of the phone doesn't stay on, it randomly deletes my contacts all the time, it deletes my text messages, the screen doesn't work half the time, it restarts all the time. Also, it overheats. And when it overheats, it's too hot to touch and i have to take the battery out for 15 minutes so it can cool down. I used to have the enV 3 and i've gone back to that phone twice now since November because i cannot stand this piece of crap. I bought it for $250 at the Verizon store and that was the worst investment of my life. I promise you this phone will break on you. Do not buy it.

This was my 2nd phone, and I loved it for the first few months, but then the phone started randomly rebooting, and resseting to the default settings. Now it doesn't read any microSD cards very well. It's never been water damaged, nor has it been handled roughly... This has happened to my friend and her mother when they got this phone as well...
